Yes! I have finally updated! Everybody give a huge cheer! …*cricket chirp* …well, anyway, the next chapter!
I do not own Teen Titans. Nor does Me. Or Myself. So…sorry.
Chapter Ten: The Chase (dramatic music)
Beast Boy couldn't believe what was happening. His dream come true had become a nightmare! He was being carried by a mob of savage fan girls who seemed like they would tear him apart at the slightest bit of encouragement. How was that for irony?
His powers were practically useless in this situation. He couldn't transform into anything big or vicious due to the possibility of harming 'innocent' citizens, and he couldn't be anything small or it would just make the girls' jobs easier.
He just had to hope his muffled screams would bring someone to help him. Raven was probably on her way right now to save her poor captured date.
Beast Boy shuddered. It was a sad day for mankind when the boyfriend was getting his butt saved by his girlfriend.

Beth gazed at her work with satisfaction. She had done a pretty good job in her opinion. The duct tape and hot glue had been great touches to her little defense plan with the police officers. All in all, it was going to be very interesting.
Outside in the street she could hear about fifteen of them wandering noisily through the crowded city area. She had led them into this block and had then taken refuge in a closed deli shop.
It was the jar of honey on the counter that had given her the marvelous idea.
"Let's try in here," came a gravelly voice. It was right outside the deli.
Beth quickly took to her hiding spot behind the counter and waited.
"Wait!" Beth recognized this voice as old Officer Donavon's. "I'm the leader, so I should enter first!"
Beth rolled her eyes. He was so pathetic. But let him go first. Let him see the nice little surprise she had planned for them.
Officer Donavon bravely took the first step into the recently closed down deli shop as the rest of his patrol watched. If only he had seen the little practically invisible string stretched across the doorway. If only he had seen the bucket of honey coming toward him that the string had triggered. If only he had seen the way those funny green leaves were going to fall on him. (He later learned those 'funny green leaves' were poison ivy.) If only he had seen the hot glue covering one of the walls waiting just for him. If only he had seen the duct tape.
Oh, well.
Beth took a quick glimpse as her beautiful machinery started to work and then hurried out the back door. She really didn't want to be around when Old Donny hit the wall.

Raven was extremely ticked off. Just when she was finally having a moment with her immature green teammate, something like this happens. Something like said green teammate being carried off by savage fan girls.
Raven stealthily flew off in the direction the stampede of obsessed girls had taken off, too. But how exactly was she going to pull off her little rescue?
She could pull off some major awesome powers and scare the girls until they were mentally scarred for life. Somehow she didn't think that idea would sit well with Robin. She could demand her friend back. …no, that wasn't going to get her anywhere. Maybe she could just…just…eh, she had nothing.
But there had to be some way to do this! There had to be!
The crowd of girls were prominent in the dying light of the sun. She couldn't be sure, but Raven thought she might could see a struggling Beast Boy somewhere in the middle of the crowd.
"Oh, boy," she muttered to herself.
Well, she obviously wasn't going to get her date back as the innocent teenage girl going on her first date. She had to get him back as Raven, kick butt teen superhero.
"This is going to be interesting."
BB/Rae
Beast Boy had just about given up hope. Here he was: tied up, gagged, and in the middle of a crowd of vicious fan girls.
And just when he had gone out on a date with Raven, too.
Raven! No, he had to get out of this. If for nothing else, for Raven. Beast Boy morphed into a fish first. The ropes that had bound his arms now laid uselessly on the ground. Gasps and shrieks could be heard from the shocked girls at the disappearance of their 'true love'.
Satisfied, Beast Boy then transformed into a huge green elephant. The shrieks were immediate, and he chuckled to himself as best he could in elephant form.
I'm home free, he thought cheerfully as he lumbered off in the direction he was just dragged from.
Beast Boy should have known it wouldn't be that easy. Piles of fan girls literally threw themselves on him and started climbing up his tree trunk like legs. The giant elephant swayed and threatened to topple.
Timber!
Beast Boy's great escape plan was gone. He was now being hammered on by tiny fists. The pain made him return to his human form. "What is the matter with you people?" he cried in exasperation.
"I love you!"
"Beast Boy, marry me!"
"My therapist told me to join a club, and I choose this one!"
"We were meant to be!"
"Eh, I'm just here for the mob."
"I'm your true love!"
Beast Boy was truly frightened.
BB/Rae
Shelly was in love. She truly did love Beast Boy with all her heart. And now was she getting to tell him so.
Along with hundreds of other girls.
Shelly grabbed some rope to tie up her true love, so he wouldn't get away. And when he had no choice but to stay put, they would…make their declarations of love? Make him choose which girl he would marry? Hmm, Shelly would have to think about that later. But for now, all that mattered was making sure the hot green changeling stayed right where she wanted him.
"Hey, what's that?"
As if one body, all the girls including Shelly moved to look in the direction the nameless shouter was pointing.
"It's a bird?"
"A plane!"
"No! It's a UFO!"
"You dork, it's Raven."
"Oh."
…
"Agghhhhhhh!"
Shelly ran hysterically like everyone else around her. Raven! It's Raven! Another member of the Teen Titans who was sure to take her true love away from her!
Of course…we could fight. Stand our ground, she thought to herself mid-scream. About one hundred to two hundred girls against this one superhero. What could it hurt? Beast Boy was her true love, and Raven surely wouldn't be allowed to hurt them…
Shelly opened her mouth to scream, "Run for your lives! It's RAVEN!"

Raven rolled her eyes. All she had to do was fly into this hoard of fan girls with her uniform on, and she was going to get her date back. How easy (and pathetic) was this?
Raven touched ground in the middle of the hysterical girls. "Look, I just want my teammate back," she deadpanned.
No one was listening. The tornado of running girls showed no sign of calming down and returning to sanity.
Raven sighed and used her powers to release Beast Boy from his bonds. He quickly stood up and stretched out his muscles.
"Heh heh…Cyborg and Robin never find out about this, right?"
Raven rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
"So, uh, shall we continue our date?" Beast Boy asked, whispering the last two words.
Raven sighed. "I guess. But let's get out of this insanity first."
Beast Boy felt her black aura consume him and braced himself for a rough journey.

"Cyborg…Cyborg? Cyborg!"
Cyborg blinked his eyes lazily and stared up into his leader's face. "Wha hap'nin?"
"We just saw a mob of fan girls attack a green elephant, and Raven saved her boyfriend's butt. You passed out somewhere in there."
Cyborg blinked again, trying to make sense of things. "Oh…did we get it on camera?"
A smile graced Robin's lips. A smile that could only be described as an evil smile. "Every bit."
Cyborg grinned in return, but a serious puzzled expression then crossed his face. "Hey, Robin…is that caramel on your face?"
Robin's face instantly turned beet red. His voice trembled with rage. "It's. Not. Car-!"
"Friends!" Starfire suddenly cried. "We do not know where Beast Boy and Raven have gone! We must locate them!"
The two boys finally stood up to the truth in Starfire's words. Stupid logical thinking. It always got in the way.
So there we go! Tell me, did the constantly changing points of view show the story line well or was it just annoying? And yeah, I did have to use the bird-plane thing. Yes, I'm extremely corny. But I'm okay with that.
Please review!
